Classification: Extraterrestrial fauna (see comments);
    active in the first half of the 20th century (certainly 1931; likely sometime between 1901-1929 A.D.; possibly even late 19th century), at least.

Location/Base of Operations: Unrevealed (the Entari presumably originate from an extraterrestrial planet (undefined star system and galaxy, presumably in Earth-616's universe), and their monsters would likely originate from the same world, but that is unconfirmed

Known Members: None identified

Affiliations: Controlled by the Entari

Enemies: Eben Stafford, Woodrow McCord (and his mother and brother, Cortland, who may or may not have shared his last name), Men on the Wall;
    people of Boones Creek (presumably Tennessee) and humanity in general

First Appearance: Original Sin Annual#1 (December, 2014)

Powers/Abilities: The Entari monsters are massive beasts generally moving as quadripeds, but able to stand on their pelvic/hind limbs.

    Their visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, and tactile abilities are defined.

    They have large mouths containing sharp teeth, and they have long and harp horns bilaterally. Their forelimbs' hands hand long and sharp talons. 

Traits: The Entari monsters seemed to be beasts controlled by an Entari rider.

    Once a rider was cast off, the monster was as prone to stomping on its former rider as any other at its feet.entari_monsters-osa1p7-pan1-stand

Type:  Bilaterally symmetric reptilian quadripeds (although they could stand on the pelvic limbs/hind legs
Eyes: Two (on head; red color seen, with vertical slit pupil)
Fingers: Three (plus opposing thumb)
Toes: Three
Skin color: Red
Average height: Approximately 30' at shoulder, approximately 60' from nose to tail)

History:
(Original Sin Annual#1 (fb) - BTS) <"Decades" after the Men on the Wall's founding> - The Entari arrived and took apart the Wall in piecemeal fashion.entari_monsters-osa1p8-pan2-vsstafford

    Dreel later claimed responsibility for slaying six of the Men on the Wall, who defended Earth from alien invasions.

    The sole survivor, Eben Stafford, vowed never to have to sit on his hands again, and he threw down his shield and took up a sword.

(Original Sin Annual#1 (fb) - BTS) - The Entari assaulted Boones Creek (presumably Tennessee), abducting Woodrow's mother and his brother, Cortland.

(Original Sin Annual#1 (fb)) <June 7, 1931> - As one of the Entari, atop a giant monster, strode through a wooded area, unphased by locals firing at it with rifles and arrows, the young Woodrow McCord Jr. dove out of a tree at the rider, armed with a small knife.

    Although McCord apparently knocked the Entari off the creature, the warrior soon gained the advantage over the young Woodrow, holding him down by the head and presumably threatening him with his own knife. Both combatants rolled to safety to avoid being stomped on by the monster, after which Woody struggled to his feet to flee the Entari until Eben Stafford fired an energy blast that apparently cut the Entari in half.

    As the Entari monster approached, Stafford advised McCord to stay down if he wished to remain alive, after which he apparently slew the monster.

    What are the Entari monsters?

    It is uncertain when the Men on the Wall formed, and it is similarly uncertain when the Entari wiped out the members beyond Stafford, but the latter would have to be before 1931. See the discussion in the Men on the Wall profile, but they could have formed anywhere between the early 1890s to 2011. Or, if "decades" was just meant to mean "nearly two decades," they could have formed in 2013.

    The monster in the Calcutta picture from 1913 (the top image in the Men on the Wall profile) looks like it might be one of the Entari monsters...but not a perfect match.
